The source complicate it since Aladdin story was added pretty late to the One Thousand and one night. So is story that supposedly a french guy got from christian but the sources are sketchy. So for all we know he just made it up. Which is to say reality is stranger than fiction.
So the sorcerer has literally "crossed the entire world" in his search for the lamp and finds it at the very end of his journey

True. The thing is all of it was technically under the Islamic influence. Many characters in the 1001 Arabian nights come from across the old world. Sinbad is from India, Ali Baba can be traced back to Sudan, Shehrazad and Shehriar are clearly Persian names.
